Beyond Pilates Apparatus Teacher Training

Beyond Pilates Apparatus Teacher Training

Reformer | Chair | Tower | Spine Corrector Accredited | Internationally Recognised | Pilates Verband Austria

Take your Pilates education to the next level with the Beyond Pilates Comprehensive Apparatus Teacher Training. This in-depth programme is designed for those who want to become highly qualified Pilates instructors with a strong understanding of the studio repertoire and how to apply it intelligently to different bodies, goals and physical limitations.

The training includes work on the Reformer, Chair, Tower and Spine Corrector, giving you the tools to create highly individualised and effective Pilates programmes for both private clients and group settings.

Unlike short equipment certification courses that focus primarily on memorising exercises, the Beyond Pilates method teaches you to understand why an exercise is chosen, how resistance and equipment setup affect the body, what compensations to look for, and how to modify or progress movement safely and effectively.
